Interview
I applied online and was offered an interview within a few days. After advancing past the initial interview, the second interview was more of a job-shadow for a day. I was asked personality-type questions and asked to memorize some company goals/values. It was nice to see what the job was first hand. Ultimately, I decided it wasn't for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: You have $1. What item can you purchase and then transform so that the item has a completely different use and can be sold for profit?

Interview
I went into the office at Oak Park. The process was really short, maybe about ten minutes. I was taken into the back room where the "CEO" of the company was asking me character questions. Whenever I asked him a question about the company, real imperative stuff like "what will I be doing at this job?," it would always be redirected somehow. I was not offered a second interview, but I was fine with that because of this reason: it's a legal pyramid scheme. I found out that when they say "marketing solutions," what you're really doing is going to malls, Wal-Marts, street corners and selling Xfinity and/or government phones for commission only.
I found out (I know, because I interviewed for a similar company) that there's a ton of companies like Labyrinth Global that are very vague as to what they do and always need people, somehow. That's because they're gonna bait you into selling Xfinity and government phones to passersby. Nobody ever got rich doing that.
There are a ton of companies that do that in and around Chicago. I have even contacted my Alderman and both Illinois senators about these pyramid schemes, because if they are not illegal, they should be. The people at the top are making money from exploiting poor people.
Other companies to look out for: Forward Continuance, North 312, Flashmob Solutions, Libra. Look out for any company that comes across indeed/ZipRecruiter, etc. that says "selling marketing solutions." It's a scam. You have been warned!

Interview
First interview went fine, just like any regular interview. I was told I would return the next day for a whole day interview to shadow people at work. I arrive the next day along with many other applicants, they divide us into groups and we get in cars, thinking I was going to the office to shadow people, I was happy the company looked bigger than it really is. Little did I know we are heading to a grocery store to set up a table and sell people services they do not need (aka Xfinity, etc.) I was furious since they had me sign a contract saying I will be staying all day, and at that point I was in Joliet, IL absolutely in the middle of nowhere. I still got a $50 uber just to get out of there and communicated to the person in charge how I expected honesty from the employer and that the position I applied for is admin and I was not told ANYTHING about what was happening. It's actually a sales position that is absolutely miserable.
